Chapter Five
"Yuy."
"Hey, Heero I'm on my way home."
"How did it go?"
"Mostly good, I'll explain when I get there."
"There's some General Tso's Chicken and fried rice here for you?"
"Thanks see ya in ten."
"Setting the watch" and he was to. He was timing my arrival. We do have this game competition between us to give ourselves an arrival time from where ever to home and we try o beat that time without breaking any traffic laws, which is very difficult for us. The other reason is because of Heero's protectiveness. If I'm not home by 10 minutes and one second he will start searching for me. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess it's a good thing and a bad. There are times when I do not envy Wufei.
My trip home was less than eventful. I walked in the apartment. "Heero stop the watch." As I hung up my coat I asked in tradition of our home, "time?" His disembodied voice echoed from the vicinity of the kitchen. "Nine minutes and fifty three seconds. Six seconds off from your best time."
"Damn." I could hear faint arguing in the kitchen. Wufei's voice being the prominent one heard. "Heero, if you're not careful you are going to end up in the …doghouse." During my taunt I pushed open the kitchen door and standing at the other end was Trowa. I found my voice and greeted him "hey Trowa." Seeing him standing there my heart felt like it stopped a beating and yet it felt as if it was beating out of control. I thought I was over him that I fixed what was broken over two years ago, but I guess you never really stop loving your first love. I haven't seen him in the past two years. Of course gundam pilot reunions were held where the five us plus Zechs were invited. It's just that every time we had planned to get together for a gundam pilot reunion one of the two of us was not there. If I was there he wasn't and if he was there I wasn't. On occasion both of us wouldn't show up. In short, I have not seen the guy who broke my heart since the end of the war. I was eventually able to speak again after his warm greeting. "So, you will be staying in the 'doghouse'? Everything alright with you and Quatre or are you here on business for WEI or just vacationing?" I had a million questions, but I thought I should start with those.
"Quatre and I broke up almost two years ago."
"What?!" Was my indignant reply and I glared at my two best friends.
Seeing my glare and the direction it took, "they just recently found out."
"How recent is recent?"
"He told us when he got here two days ago and since we already know the story Heero and I will be going to bed." Heero was visibly upset at hearing this for I'm pretty sure that he wanted to have a front row seat to the events that were going to unfold here and now in the kitchen.
